Olympus SH-50

The Olympus Stylus SH-50 is a high performance digital compact camera that's packed full of tech. If the 24x optical zoom, FullHD video recording and touch screen shooting aren't enough, the SH-50 is the first of its kind to feature the 5-axis image stabilisation system, normally only seen in DSLRs.

Review: Olympus Stylus SH-50 iHS

Big zoom in point and shoot cameras is quite a rage these days. If you have a sub 20K budget, there are quite a few snappers you can consider. The Olympus Stylus XZ-10 had been a disappointment as far as User experience is concerned.
Pros:
  • Ultra Slow-mo video capture
  • Decent low-light shots
  • 24X optical zoom with IS
Cons:
  • Wi-Fi support only via Eye-Fi cards
  • Macro images lack detail
  • Over-saturtation of images

Olympus Stylus SH-50 Review

Olympus had anonunced the SH-50, its first point-and-shoot with 5-axis image stabilisation for video, earlier this year. Considering the SH-50 is a travel zoom compact camera, we were really curious to know how the image stabilisation would work at the telephoto end.

Clear, sharp pictures. Image stabilization is fantastic. Super-macro AAA+++

I love this camera. Between the fine lens and the image stabilization it takes wonderful clear pictures. Video is nice too but the only thing so far that I am not fond of is the sound quality not being very good.

I purchased this camera as a point and shoot alternative to my Canon SLR. I wanted a small camera with big zoom that could take sharp images and could record decent video. What sold me on it is the new Olympus 5-axis image stabilization.

Olympus Stylus SH-50 review

We always like products that do something different, but we rate them for quality rather than novelty value. That's why it's a particular treat to find a camera that stands out from the crowd in ways that are genuinely useful, which the Olympus Stylus SH-50 does.

Olympus SH-50MR

In early 2013 Olympus announced the SH-50 iHS, "a new premium, compact long zoom camera" with a host of impressive features trickled down from their flagship Micro Four Thirds cameras (like the OM-D E-M5).

SuperZoom; but laggy software and noisy images

I had high hopes waiting for the SH-50 to arrive; I am a big fan of the Canon PowerShot SX280 which is a similar superzoom format camera. The reasons for my high hopes are that the lens is fractionally quicker and the zoom is 20% longer.
